Ingredients:

• Bread flour (divided into two portions)
• Eggs
• Water
• Neutral oil
• Sugar
• Instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
• Kosher salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare an R-like mixture by combining milk, water, and a portion of flour. Cook this mixture until it thickens to a paste-like consistency.
2. In a stand mixer, combine the remaining flour, salt, sugar, yeast, water, oil, eggs, and the cooked flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.
3. Add cold butter gradually and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, either at room temperature for an hour or overnight in the fridge.
5. Portion the dough into 80g pieces, shape them into torpedo shapes, and let them rest.
6. Roll out the dough pieces into bun shapes, proof until doubled in size, and brush with egg wash.
7. Bake the buns at 400°F for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
